Stille, du elskede Kvinde! Tyst maa vi træde, vi to. Der sover en Sang her inde I Skovens natlige Ro. Stille er Vover og Vinde, Tavs er hver Sangfuglemund, Tiende Kilderne rinde Blankt over mossede Bund. Maanestraalerne spille Tyst mellem Bøgene frem, Langs ad Stierne stille Blunder en lyslig Bræm. Sølvskyen selv der oppe Hviler paa Vingen bred, Højt over Træernes Toppe Skuer den lyttende ned. Stille er Vover og Vinde, Tyst maa vi træde, vi to. Der sover en Sang her inde I Skovens natlige Ro.

Silence, chère femme, Il nous faut tous deux marcher doucement, Un chant s'assoupit là, dans La quiétude nocturne de la forêt. Vagues et vents se taisent Chaque gorge d'oiseau est muette, Des sources coulent en sourdine, Brillantes sur fond moussu. Des rayons de lune jouent En catimini au milieu des hêtres, Le long des sentiers silencieux Somnole une lisière brillante. Un nuage d'argent lui-même, là-haut Se repose sur son aile écartée, Bien au-dessus de la cime des arbres, Il écoute en regardant en bas. Vagues et vents se taisent, Il nous faut tous deux marcher doucement, Un chant s'assoupit là, dans La quiétude nocturne de la forêt.
